My Question of the Day: You were the victim of a viciously, savage attack, which you survived. All of your physical scars healed and are no longer visible, but the emotional scars continued to control your life. The police devoted many hours trying to bring your attacker to justice, but the heartless predator wasn’t caught.

In an effort to move on with your life, you went through intensive and extensive therapy, clung to loved ones who gave you overwhelming support and encouragement, and you got your life back after a few years of hard work and dedication. Little by little, you put the entire event behind you, and now you’re leading the best life you could possibly imagine.

20 years after the event, a detective knocks on your door and says the police department has new evidence and there’s a better-than-good chance that they can bring your attacker to justice. The detective tells you that some of the paperwork from your original statement was ruined in a storage room fire, and he/she needs you to recount the entire experience in order for the police department to proceed.

What do you do?

My 2 Cents: I help the investigation in any way I can, even though I’m sure it will be hard to allow those wounds to be re-opened.
